Narrow angle

[express75]

Hello all,

I am stuck at home for a few weeks - and my main room is going to be my main office...

I am working with Teams (on Mac) and using video for 3/4h per day for meetings or co-working sessions. I have a Aukey usb camera connected to a Thunderbolt hub, I am not so happy with the webcam and I am considering buying a (overpriced) Logitech (920 or streamcam, not sure yet) .

Even if we are all cool with this, I don't want my colleagues or partners to see my entire living room behind me, so I would like to narrow the field covered by the webcam, so it focus more on me and less on behind me. The built-in tricks to blur the video isn't working that well and makes my MacBook over heat a bit. I also tried several angles but doesn't work that much, my apartment is small.

I was wondering if OBS could be the right solution to narrow a bit the field of view of my webcam ?

Thank you,

Express

I would put the video in a scene and crop the input video source to any geometry you want. Then include that scene in any scene where you want the camera...only the uncropped portion will show
